Lahore, Pakistan –May 26, 2025– Indie game developers Silly Sloth Studios and Kheddo Entertainment, and publisher Shadow Owl Studios have announced that Alien Market Simulator is now available in Early Access on Steam. A downloadable demo version of the game is also available.
Alien Market Simulator is a space station management game where you must run a bustling marketplace to earn your freedom from the Intergalactic Police. Manage daily check-ins, pay off debts, and keep the station operational while catering to alien travelers. Your choices—both legal and shady—will determine how quickly you reclaim your independence.
Expand and customize your station by offering essential services like snacks, fuel, and restrooms while maintaining cleanliness and security. Hire robotic staff to assist with stocking, cleaning, and customer service, ensuring smooth operations. Watch out for thieves, manage inventory efficiently, and keep alien customers happy to maximize profits.
For those willing to take risks, illegal deals offer high rewards—but getting caught has consequences. Use your lawyer to navigate the black market while keeping authorities at bay. With endless customization, unpredictable challenges, and an ever-growing roster of alien visitors, Alien Market Simulator delivers a unique and dynamic space-trading experience.
The full version of the game will include store customization, expanded shops, restaurant ownership, new items, additional services, a space refueling station, and advanced security systems. It will also feature more detailed cleaning mechanics and other enhancements based on player feedback.
